Bug ID: 492062

SUMMARY
When I'm using the LSP plugin, the popup starts to appear and get sized right
before all of the text response for the language server has come in. This means
that the LSP plugin frequently makes the box slightly to small to avoid
scrolling (especially horizontal scrolling), which is extremely annoying.
The incorrect box size also seems to cause soft wrapping of language server
results that already *hard* wrapped - making them very difficult to read.
Another side effect of this is that if you hover over something, move the
cursor off, then move back a second later, you might get a box with a
*completely* different size, which is pretty jarring.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Hover over some common types like Strings with the rust-analyzer plugin
enabled.
OBSERVED RESULT
See summary and attached screenshot.
EXPECTED RESULT
The box should pick a size that is reasonable.
Hard wrapped text should never be shown. If the text is soft wrapped, then you
never need to show a horizontal scrollbar in a small popup box, which is a
really good thing.
